Prevention is Key When it Comes to Tick Control in Middleburg Heights
Ticks are parasites that attach themselves to their host for several days at a time. Often, this means local wildlife. Animals that live nearby in woods, fields, or forests can bring ticks into your yard. This includes deer, squirrels, mice, opossums, and birds. Some ways to deter them include:
- Erecting a fence if you get a lot of deer on your property. Deer are the most popular tick host due to their size.
- Cleaning up your lawn, including any clutter, messy wood piles, heavy areas of leaf litter, and more, where animals like to hide.
- Putting in plants, like lavender, around your property, which serve as a natural deterrent to animals.
In addition to keeping animals out, also keep your lawn well maintained. Ticks tend to congregate in moist, dark conditions. If your grass is long or you have overgrown trees and shrubs, this is creating the shady, wet conditions ticks love. Avoid this by cutting your lawn regularly and pruning back brush, bushes, shrubs, and trees.
